Captain Tom’s Daughter admits keeping cash from books during Piers Morgan interview - live

The prologue of Sir Tom’s book says it is a “chance to raise even more money for the charitable foundation now established in my name”.

Captain Tom’s family say they’ve received death threats after pocketing £800,000 from books

Captain Sir Tom Moore’s daughter has admitted keeping £800,000 from three books the late army veteran had written, despite the prologue of one of them suggesting the money would go to charity.

Hannah Ingram-Moore told Piers Morgan that her late father had wanted his family to keep the profits in Club Nook Ltd, a firm that is separate from the Captain Tom Foundation.

In a clip released ahead of the interview, which is being aired this evening, she said that her father “specifically” wanted her to keep the book profits.

She insisted there was no suggestion anyone who purchased the books thought the money was going to charity, but the prologue of Sir Tom’s book says it is a “chance to raise even more money for the charitable foundation now established in my name.”

The Independent exclusively revealed last year the foundation had paid tens of thousands of pounds to companies run by Ingram-Moore and her husband.

She will also address her “regret” over building a spa and pool complex at their Grade II listed home in Bedfordshire, despite planning applications being submitted in the foundation’s name.

Interview ends in tears

The interview ended with tears as Captain Tom’s daughter, Hannah Ingram-Moore spoke of the “devastation” she has gone through as the controversy and scandal hit home.

“It’s utterly devastating. To think we had something that we thought could have a global positive impact to devastate overnight,” she said, wiping tears.

“All the people who were engaging with us left, literally left.”
